Search Again: Re: Reverse record question. From: Central Station Records Date: Monday, July 15, 2002 Time: 12:04:51 pm Most probably they will choke - the easiest thing to do if you have 1 IP is simply ask them to set up the PTR record for your IP to be the name of your mail server (mail.yourmailserver.com) and then setup all other domains you host at this IP with mx records of this same mail.yourdomain.com and then let the mail server handle the routing of mail to each of the alias domains. Your issue is with 1 IP you probably have www service on this IP also but it is more important to have the PTR record setup correctly for your mail server on 7/15/02 2:37 PM, Dean Suhr at deansuhr@carpedis.com wrote: > I'm a novice here ...
